Efforts on to end rift in Mansehra PTI.

MANSEHRA -- The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's Hazara region governing body has decided to end rift in the party's Mansehra chapter.

A rift between two rival groups widened when Mansehra general secretary Taimur Saleem Swati notified the office-bearers of the five tehsils only to be de-notified by acting president Dr Ashfaq, who also named the office-bearers of his own choice.

The governing body which met with its president Ali Asghar Khan in the chair summoned Saleem Swati to Islamabad and heard his viewpoint on the notifications he issued for naming office-bearers of Mansehra, Oghi, Balakot- Darband and Baffa-Balakot tehsils.

Mr Swati told the meeting that he had notified the bodies in line with the party's constitution and taking the regional body on board.

Ajmal Khan Swati, the governing body's Hazara information secretary, said the final decision would be made after hearing the viewpoint of the party's Mansehra acting president.

He said governing body president would ensure that ongoing confrontation in the party's Mansehra chapter came to an end once for all.
